ResQLink™ AIS Personal Locator Beacon

Model ResQLink AIS (SKU 2933)

Marine PLB combining 406 MHz satellite alerting, AIS local alerting and Man Overboard, Return Link Service and NFC in one beacon.

Description

The ResQLink AIS is a personal locator beacon designed solely for marine use that combines satellite and local transponders. It pairs 406 MHz Cospas-Sarsat distress alerting with AIS distress messaging, so the Coast Guard and nearby AIS-equipped commercial and recreational vessels can respond directly to the digital mayday with the user's precise location.

Key features

  • AIS locating signal and AIS Man Overboard functionality
  • Return Link Service (RLS) confirmation that the distress message was received
  • NFC smartphone connectivity, described by ACR as the first smartphone-connected PLB
  • GNSS positioning (GPS, Galileo, Glonass)
  • 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz homing signals
  • Built-in LED and IR strobe array

Applications

Personal man-overboard and distress alerting for crew, sailors and offshore workers.
